1016 River Forest Pl, Martinsville, VA 24112

Welcome to 1016 River Forest Place, a stunning display of American midcentury modern architecture, and nestled in the cul-de-sac of one of Forest Park's most secluded, residential streets. Home and architecture history enthusiasts are going to ADORE this property, and we hope they change very little when they make it theirs! From the moment you open the front door, you will literally feel transported back in time! Custom-built in 1961, nearly every fixture is original and staggering in their retro beauty and quality. From the wall-mounted American Standard toilets, to the hand-made glass and metal light fixtures, this home is truly a sight to behold. Even better? It has some nice updates! Both the deck and the heat pump were replaced this year! To get ready for the market, the owner removed many overgrown shrubs in the front, mulched, power washed, and gave it a deep clean! Featuring nearly 3,500 finished sq. ft. and split on three levels, 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths (including a primary suite), 2 car garage, and several, spacious areas for relaxing and entertaining, including a cozy family room with fireplace and bar, and a huge patio out back! Sold "as-is/where-is!" and priced to SELL! Just wait until you see the Frigidaire "Flair" electric range with sliding drawer burners! As seen on "Bewitched", and in many period homes, Frigidaire said it was, "The happiest thing that ever happened to cookingOR YOU!" Well, we certainly know you will be happy here, too! This is a must see!
